Finding Nemo

[gemfyre]

I finally saw it!!

Sure, I could go on and on about the myths and untruths in it (I mean, reef fish going into the Abyssal zone and not being crushed by the pressure, then being CHASED by an angler fish. Fish that deep do not move fast, their whole strategy is ambush) but yeah, I do realise it's a story, and a cute one at that. Unfotunately too many people are too dumb to realise that.

My only real gripe was the fact that the pelicans were American Brown Pelicans and the seagulls were American too, yellow beaks and feet instead of the red or black of our abundant Silver Gulls. Sheesh, they did everything else right they could have put in the correct bird species.

Heh my Dad, his fiancee and my brother only just saw it too. We went outfor an Indian last night and my Dad comes out withthis classic line "I felt the real flaw in the film was the bit where the fish ate all the eggs - it couldnt have got it's snout in there, and I'm sure they don't even eat eggs, just fish!"

We were like "Okay but the *talking* fish bit - that was all correct and good yah?!"

But talking animals are an essential part of making the movie. That poetic license always needs to be taken. But they could do some simple research and make it a bit more factual, I hate misinformation. I mean, no-one in their right mind is going to REALLY believe that animals speak English.
